Breaking news: Pillow belonging to the princess of the tale "The Princess and the Pea" by Hans Christian Andersen has been found.

I was hoping that this discovery would be reported by the Duchess of Cambridge upon her recent marriage to Prince William. But no, the future princess is keeping mum.

I had always thought it strange that, in the fairy tale "The Princess and the Pea" (1835), the test of a real princess focused on the mattress.
